#### Notes on the Add Angle option

(This item pertains to the Add Angles dialog box. You can open this dialog box with the Add Angles button on the Probe Utilities dialog box, accessible through Insert | Hardware Definition | Probe.)

- Automatic probe calibration can only be done using a spherical probe and spherical qualification tool.

- The X, Y, and Z coordinate of the center of the tool that is being used must reflect the current position of the tool on the table. If this is not the case, the response should be YES to the question "Has probe position moved?"

- When measuring AB positions under operator control, PC-DMIS will automatically rotate the probe head to the next manual position when the current position is completed. Please be sure the probe clears the tool before pressing the END key.

- If the calibration tool position has changed or new angles need to be appended to the list of tips, mark the needed angles in the New Angles List box. The default position of the probe tip (normal to the shaft of the tool) must also be marked. PC-DMIS will first execute the angle that is normal to the tool, and then execute the other marked angles.

- If the automatic AB calibration is stopped before it has finished measuring all the appended positions, PC-DMIS will ask you if you want to keep the partial calibrated data before quitting.
